At the same time, you
might find it easier to open your iPod mini or second-generation iPod nano if
you apply a little heat, so weigh the pros and the cons, and decide for yourself.
Open Your iPod
Some iPods love to pop right open, while some just want to stay closed, but
patience rewards all practitioners. Keep at it, and don??™t get too frustrated;
anyone can open any iPod. (The same holds true as dating advice.) We talk
about the iPod mini and the iPod nano later in this chapter.
Open Your First- or Second-Generation iPod
To open a first- or second-generation iPod:
1. Turn the iPod on its side, and measure about two inches from the bottom.
2. Take your plastic tool or flat-headed screwdriver, and carefully but firmly wedge it
between the plastic front and the metal back at the position you located in step 1.
If you have problems, you might try running your tool along the crack and gradually
working it in.
